Iconic Sydney restaurant to shut doors

Asian fusion joint Ms G’s on Tuesday announced it would be shutting its doors indefinitely on December 21, taking to Instagram to share the warm farewell. The Potts Point restaurant was opened by executive chef Dan Hong and Jowett Yu in 2010. It quickly became renowned for its bold combination of Asian flavours, with Broadsheet describing it as a “skilful blend of Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean influences with a hint of Americana”. “On December 21, after 15 incredible years in Potts Point, Merivale will say goodbye to Ms G’s as we look ahead to an exciting new chapter of growth and innovation, with several new venues and development projects underway,” the restaurant posted on Instagram. “Our executive chefs are also expanding their portfolios, including Dan Hong with his newly opened Chinese diner, Good Luck Eating House. “Dan Hong and Jowett Yu opened Ms G’s in 2010, serving up bold, no-rules Asian cooking. “The crazy, flavour-packed venue quickly became a trailblazer for Merivale and set the stage for Mr Wong, which opened in 2012.” Ms G’s is owned by Australian hospitality giant Merivale, run by businessman Justin Hemmes. The restaurant’s entry on the Merivale website describes it as taking a “playful approach to cooking”, which “criss-crosses various Asian cuisines (please don’t make us say ‘fusion’) and borrows from others”. “As long as the dishes we create are balanced, textural and delicious, it works for us,” the entry continues.
